  • Page 9: About The Enviroranger Ers 500

    About the EnviroRanger ERS 500… The EnviroRanger is intended for advanced water and wastewater applications. This device can handle virtually all of your pump control and level monitoring needs – often replacing expensive PLCs and integrating into a SCADA system for a fraction of the cost of competitive systems.

    RJ-11 communications port no co-axial cable connections About Configuring ERS 500 Parameters The primary method of configuring the EnviroRanger is using Milltronics Dolphin Plus software and a serial connection to the device. Configuring the EnviroRanger using the optional Hand Programmer is possible but is not recommended for complex installations.

    Installation Notes: • Installation must only be performed by qualified personnel, and in accordance with local governing regulations. • This product is susceptible to electrostatic shock. Follow proper grounding procedures All field wiring must have insulation suitable for at least 250 V. Hazardous voltage present on transducer terminals during operation.
  • Page 12 This RJ-11 port is located inside the enclosure of the Wall mount version, and on the face of the rack and panel units (see below). RJ-11 Port In addition, all EnviroRanger units have RS-232 connections on the terminal board so they can be permanently wired to modems for remote access, or telephone jacks for easy local access.
